[0053] The assembly unit 3 includes an adjustment component 31 fixedly mounted on the assembly table 1, a plurality of pressing components 32 arranged on the adjustment component 31, and a purge component 33 symmetrically arranged on the adjustment component 31; the purge component 33 includes a base 331 fixedly connected to the adjustment component 31, a pop-up motor 332 fixedly connected to the base 331, a screw rod 333 connected to the output end of the pop-up motor 332, a push plate 335 slidably connected to the base 331, a torsion spring 334 for connecting the push plate 335 and one end of the screw rod 333, and a purge part 336 arranged on the screw rod 333; through the operation of the pop-up motor 332, the screw rod 333 is popped out of the base 331, the purge area of the purge part 336 is adjusted, and the push plate 335 is pushed out so that the push plate 335 is located between the top of the tripod bearing and the lower surface of the top of the mounting shaft in the bell housing, which facilitates the installation of the retaining ring.
[0054] The adjustment assembly 31 includes a fixed seat 311 and a limit seat 324 fixedly mounted on the assembly table 1, an adjustment motor 312 fixedly mounted on the fixed seat 311, a bidirectional screw rod 313 connected to the output end of the adjustment motor 312, an adjustment member 314 sleeved on the bidirectional screw rod 313, a slide rail 317 fixedly mounted on the fixed seat 311, a slider 318 slidably connected to the slide rail 317, and an adjustment seat 315 for connecting the slider 318 and the adjustment member 314; the adjustment assembly 31 also includes a A plurality of limiting wheels 316 on one adjustment seat 315, a limiting motor 319 fixedly mounted on another adjustment seat 315, a main gear 320 connected to the output end of the limiting motor 319, a rotating shaft 321 provided on the other adjustment seat 315, at least two driven wheels 322 sleeved on the rotating shaft 321, and a driven gear 323 located between the two driven wheels 322 and sleeved on the rotating shaft 321; the main gear 320 is meshed with the driven gear 323; when the constant speed drive shaft needs to be assembled, at this time, The two manipulators 2 are set to complete the handling work of the bell shell and the cylindrical shell. When the bell shell is in a predetermined position, the adjusting motor 312 starts to work. The moving adjusting motor 312 can drive the bidirectional screw rod 313 to rotate, so that the adjusting members 314 can approach each other. At this time, the moving adjusting member 314 can adjust the seat 315 to move, so that the moving adjusting seat 315 can drive the limiting wheel 316 and the driven wheel 322 to move, so that the limiting wheel 316 and the driven wheel 322 can abut against the connecting shaft in the bell shell, completing the limiting work of the bell shell. Then the limit motor 319 starts to work, and the moving limit motor 319 can drive the main gear 320 to rotate, and then the moving main gear 320 can drive the driven gear 323 engaged with it to rotate, and the set rotating shaft 321 can drive the driven wheel 322 to rotate. Since the driven wheel 322 abuts the connecting shaft in the bell-shaped housing, it can drive the connecting shaft in the bell-shaped housing to rotate, so that the spline on the connecting shaft in the bell-shaped housing can adapt to the tripod bearing, ensuring that the tripod bearing can be smoothly installed on the connecting shaft in the bell-shaped housing.
[0055] The pressing assembly 32 includes a support frame 3201 and a lifting cylinder 3202 fixedly mounted on the assembly table 1, a mounting base 3203 for connecting the lifting cylinder 3202 and the support frame 3201, a lifting block 3204 arranged at the output end of the lifting cylinder 3202, a connecting plate 3205 connected to the lifting block 3204, a lifting frame 3206 connected to the connecting plate 3205 and sleeved on the support frame 3201, a rotating shaft 32010 and a sleeve 3207 connected to the lifting frame 3206, and a pressing block 3204 connected to the rotating shaft 32010. 2011, and a guide shaft 3208 arranged on the mounting seat 3203 and located in the sleeve 3207; a guide block 3209 is provided on the sleeve 3207, and a slide groove is provided on the circumference of the guide shaft 3208, and the guide block 3209 is located in the slide groove, and the slide groove is a Z-shaped structure; by moving the sleeve 3207 in the axial direction of the guide shaft 3208, the position of the guide block 3209 in the slide groove is changed, so that the pressing block 32011 can be moved closer to or away from the mounting seat 3203 while rotating; when the tripod bearing is being installed, the lifting cylinder 3202 is opened. When the lifting frame 3206 starts to work, the moving lifting cylinder 3202 can drive the lifting block 3204 to move, and the moving lifting block 3204 can drive the connecting plate 3205 to move, thereby driving the lifting frame 3206 to move in the length direction of the support frame 3201. A sleeve 3207 is set on the lifting frame 3206, and a guide block 3209 is provided on the lifting frame 3206. Therefore, when the lifting frame 3206 is lifting, the guide block 3209 can move in the Z-shaped slide groove, which can not only make the sleeve 3207 close to the mounting seat 3203 but also make the mounting seat 3203 It rotates, so that the pressing block 32011 can perform intermittent pressing work. At the same time, by setting a plurality of pressing components 32 to cooperate with each other, not only can the pressing work be completed, but also the tilted three-pronged bearing can be straightened (that is, the axis of the three-pronged bearing coincides with the axis of the connecting shaft in the bell-shaped shell); after the preliminary installation of the three-pronged bearing is completed by the manipulator 2, the setting of the pressing component 32 can not only complete the secondary installation of the three-pronged bearing, but also enable the three-pronged bearing to be installed in a predetermined manner, avoiding excessive misalignment and damage to the splines on the inner wall of the three-pronged bearing.
[0056] When completing the installation of the tripod bearing, in order to ensure that the tripod bearing and the connecting shaft in the bell housing can be stably connected, a certain gap needs to be left between the top of the tripod bearing and the lower surface of the top of the connecting shaft in the bell housing during installation. This gap is used to place the retaining spring. At the same time, most existing constant velocity drive shafts are reusable, which may cause impurities to be present in the splines on the tripod bearing or the connecting shaft in the bell housing. During assembly, a large amount of impurities will be present in the above gap (there will be impurities between each spline), which will cause the retaining spring to be unable to be installed smoothly, or to fail to achieve the tightening effect after installation, resulting in the tripod bearing being separated from the connecting shaft in the bell housing when the constant velocity drive shaft rotates.
[0057] In order to solve the above problems, the present device includes a purge part 336, which includes a shell 3361 fixedly mounted on the spiral rod 333, a reversing motor 3362 fixedly connected to the shell 3361, a driving cam 3363 arranged at the output end of the reversing motor 3362, a driving block 3364 located on the driving cam 3363, an air inlet end 33612 arranged on the shell 3361, an air outlet end 33613 mounted on the shell 3361, and a shut-off member for connecting the air outlet end 33613 and the air inlet end 33612; the shut-off member includes an H-shaped chamber opened in the shell 3361, a first adjusting rod 3365 and a A second adjusting rod 3368, a sealing block 3366 provided at one end of the first adjusting rod 3365, a return spring 3367 connected to the sealing block 3366, a connecting spring 3369 connected to the output end of the second adjusting rod 3368, a driving seat 33610 connected to the other end of the connecting spring 3369, and a sealing ball 33611 connected to the driving seat 33610; the other end of the return spring 3367 abuts against one of the air outlet ends 33613, the first adjusting rod 3365 can abut against the driving block 3364, and one end of the second adjusting rod 3368 can abut against the driving cam 3363; the H-shaped chamber is respectively connected to the air inlet end 33612 and the air outlet end 33613.
[0058] When the tripod bearing is being installed, the pop-up motor 332 starts working. The moving pop-up motor 332 can drive the screw rod 333 to rotate, so that the bolt rod can extend out of the base 331. During the extension of the screw rod 333, the torsion spring 334 is provided, which can drive the push plate 335 to move so that the front end of the push plate 335 can be located in the above-mentioned gap, thereby playing a supporting role. Then the purge part 336 can purge the gap to reduce impurities in the gap to ensure the smooth installation of the retaining spring. Then the adjustment assembly 31 starts working, thereby rotating the connecting shaft in the bell housing. The purge part 336 and the push plate 335 cooperate to clean the gap. After the purge work is completed, the retaining spring can be inserted into the above-mentioned gap through the retaining spring handling robot (existing technology). At this time, the pop-up motor 332 works in the reverse direction to move the push plate 335 away from the connecting shaft in the bell housing, thereby completing the entire cleaning process.
[0059] During the cleaning process, the air supply pipe is connected to the air inlet end 33612, and the reversing motor 3362 is operated to make the driving block 3364 abut against the first adjusting rod 3365 (at this time, the farthest end of the driving cam 3363 abuts against the second adjusting rod 3368), so that the sealing block 3366 is close to one of the air outlet ends 33613. At this time, the fluid can be ejected from one of the air outlet ends 33613 along the chamber, so that the designated location can be purged.
[0060] Then, the reversing motor 3362 operates again, and the distance between the sealing block 3366 and one of the air outlet ends 33613 is shortened again. The connecting spring 3369 drives the driving seat 33610 to move away from the other air outlet end 33613, thereby causing the sealing ball 33611 to move away from the air inlet of the other air outlet end 33613. At this time, the fluid can be ejected from both air outlet ends 33613.
[0061] Finally, the reversing motor 3362 continues to work. At this time, the sealing block 3366 blocks one of the air outlet ends 33613. Then, the distance between the sealing ball 33611 and the other air outlet end 33613 is the farthest. At this time, the fluid can pass through the chamber and be ejected from the other air outlet end 33613, thereby completing the purge of the tripod bearing.
[0062] Without changing the air volume, the pop-up motor 332 drives the screw rod 333 to rotate, and at the same time cooperates with the working mode of the blowing part 336. During the movement of the screw rod 333, the propulsion plate 335 can be pushed forward, and then when the propulsion plate 335 abuts against the tripod bearing, the screw rod 333 can be moved to change the blowing direction of the blowing part 336. When the propulsion plate 335 abuts against the tripod bearing, the working mode of the blowing part 336 can be changed to change the blowing direction of the blowing part 336, so as to complete the multi-angle and multi-wind force adjustment of the gap. By making the propulsion plate 335 located in the gap, the moving clock-shaped shell of the assembly unit 3 can be rotated, so that the propulsion plate 335 can remove impurities from the gap between the tripod bearing and the connecting shaft in the bell-shaped shell.
[0063] The clamping unit 4 includes a clamping seat 42 fixedly mounted on the assembly table 1, a clamping motor 41 fixedly connected to the clamping seat 42, a limiting rod 43 connected to the output end of the clamping motor 41, a first abutting wheel 44 provided at one end of the limiting rod 43, a limiting arm 46 movably connected to the clamping seat 42, two movable wheels 45 respectively provided on the limiting arms 46, two first sleeves 48 mounted on the limiting rod 43, a pulling plate 47 movably connected to the clamping seat 42, and a second sleeve 49 provided on the limiting arm 46; wherein the pulling plate 47 is provided with an arc hole and a waist-shaped hole, the first sleeve 48 is located in the arc hole, and the second sleeve 49 is located in the waist-shaped hole, and the length of the waist-shaped hole is greater than the diameter of the second sleeve 49; the limiting rod 43 is a cross-shaped structure, and its shoulder has a predetermined inclined surface, and one of the movable wheels 45 abuts against the inclined surface;
[0064] When the manipulator 2 places the cylindrical shell on the assembly table 1, the clamping motor 41 starts to work. The moving clamping motor 41 can drive the limiting rod 43 to start working. The moving limiting rod 43 can drive the first abutting wheel 44 to move. At the same time, during the movement of the limiting rod 43, the first sleeve 48 can also be driven to move, thereby changing the inclination angle between the pull plate 47 and the clamping seat 42. Since the second sleeve 49 is located in the pull plate 47, the limiting arm 46 can be driven to move during the movement of the pull plate 47, so that the movable wheel 45 and the first abutment wheel 44 are in abutment with the cylindrical shell to complete the limiting work of the cylindrical shell, and then the oiling work is completed by the oiling unit, so that the cylindrical shell is filled with lubricating oil. The structure of the oiling unit can be the same as the structure of the purging part 336, thereby completing the oiling work of the cylindrical shell. By setting the oiling unit with the same structure as the purging part 336, the oiling position can be adjusted to avoid excessive lubricating oil in one area of the cylindrical shell, and to avoid excessive lubricating oil when the bell shell is inserted into the cylindrical shell, and the lubricating oil is squeezed out during the insertion process.

[0066] When performing a performance test of the constant velocity drive shaft, the constant velocity drive shaft can be placed in the torque detection device 6, and then the first power source 9 starts working. The moving first power source 9 can drive the drive gear 83 to rotate. At this time, the drive gear 83 is engaged with the movable gear 810, thereby causing the output shaft 82 to rotate, thereby driving the constant velocity drive shaft to rotate. During this process, the torque sensor 7 is used to perform detection work. After completing the detection work of the power source, the locking rod 89 is adjusted so that the locking rod 89 is in one of the limit holes, and then the position of the swing arm 86 is adjusted so that the locking rod 89 on the swing arm 86 is located in the other limit hole. During the adjustment of the swing arm 86, the swing arm 86 can drive the movable seat 85 to move through the provided support block 87, so that the movable seat 85 can move on the detection seat 81, thereby changing the position of the movable gear 810, so that the movable gear 810 is engaged with the drive gear 83 on the second power source 10, and then the torque detection work of the constant velocity drive shaft is completed by the rotation of the second power source 10.
[0067] By making the rotation speed of the first power source 9 and the second power source 10 different, the torque difference of the assembled constant speed drive shaft at different speeds is detected. The device is provided with at least two power sources, which are switched by the source switching unit 8. Compared with the traditional torque measurement device with only one torque measurement device, the device has more measurement data, ensuring the accuracy of the measurement results.
[0068] The torque detection device 6 and the pressing mechanism 5 are prior art.
[0069] Working principle description: When the constant speed drive shaft needs to be assembled, the two manipulators 2 are used to complete the handling of the bell shell and the cylindrical shell. When the bell shell is in a predetermined position, the adjusting motor 312 starts to work. The moving adjusting motor 312 can drive the bidirectional screw rod 313 to rotate, so that the adjusting parts 314 can approach each other. At this time, the moving adjusting parts 314 can adjust the seat 315 to move, so that the moving adjusting seat 315 can drive the limiting wheel 316 and the driven wheel 322 to move, so that the limiting wheel 316 and the driven wheel 322 can be connected with the connection in the bell shell. The shaft abuts to complete the limiting work of the bell housing; then the limiting motor 319 starts to work, and the moving limiting motor 319 can drive the main gear 320 to rotate, and then the moving main gear 320 can drive the driven gear 323 meshing with it to rotate, and the provided rotating shaft 321 can drive the driven wheel 322 to rotate. Since the driven wheel 322 abuts against the connecting shaft in the bell housing, it can drive the connecting shaft in the bell housing to rotate, so that the spline on the connecting shaft in the bell housing can adapt to the tripod bearing, ensuring that the tripod bearing can be smoothly installed on the connecting shaft in the bell housing;
[0070] When the tripod bearing is being installed, the lifting cylinder 3202 starts to work. The moving lifting cylinder 3202 can drive the lifting block 3204 to move, and the moving lifting block 3204 can drive the connecting plate 3205 to move, thereby driving the lifting frame 3206 to move in the length direction of the support frame 3201. A sleeve 3207 is provided on the lifting frame 3206, and a guide block 3209 is provided on the lifting frame 3206. Therefore, when the lifting frame 3206 is lifting, the guide block 3209 can move in the Z-shaped slide groove, which can not only make the sleeve 3207 close to the mounting seat 3203 but also make the mounting seat 3203 rotate, thereby making the pressing block 32011 able to perform intermittent pressing work. At the same time, by setting a plurality of pressing assemblies 32 to cooperate with each other, not only the pressing work can be completed, but also the tilted tripod bearing can be straightened (that is, the axis of the tripod bearing coincides with the axis of the connecting shaft in the bell housing);
[0071] When the installation of the three-prong bearing is carried out, the pop-up motor 332 starts to work at this time, and the moving pop-up motor 332 can drive the screw rod 333 to rotate, so that the bolt rod can extend out of the base 331. In the process of extending the screw rod 333, the torsional spring 334 is arranged, which can drive the advancing plate 335 to move so that the front end of the advancing plate 335 can be located in the above-mentioned gap, thereby playing a supporting work. Then the blowing part 336 can blow the gap to reduce the impurities in the gap and ensure the smooth installation of the snap spring. Then the adjusting assembly 31 starts to work, thereby making the connecting shaft in the bell-shaped shell rotate. The cooperation of the blowing part 336 and the advancing plate 335 can clean the gap. After the blowing work is completed, the snap spring can be inserted into the above-mentioned gap by the snap spring handling manipulator. At this time, the pop-up motor 332 works in reverse, so that the advancing plate 335 moves away from the connecting shaft in the bell-shaped shell, thereby completing the whole cleaning process.
[0072] In the process of cleaning, the gas inlet end 33612 is connected with the gas inlet end 33612, and then the reversing motor 3362 starts to work, so that the driving block 3364 abuts against the first adjusting rod 3365 (at this time, the farthest end of the driving cam 3363 abuts against the second adjusting rod 3368), so that the sealing block 3366 approaches one of the gas outlet ends 33613. At this time, the fluid can be sprayed from one of the gas outlet ends 33613 along the chamber, thereby being able to blow the designated position,
[0073] Then the reversing motor 3362 works again, at this time the distance between the sealing block 3366 and one of the gas outlet ends 33613 is shortened again, and the connecting spring 3369 drives the driving seat 33610 to move away from the other gas outlet end 33613, so that the sealing ball 33611 moves away from the gas inlet of the other gas outlet end 33613. At this time, the fluid can be sprayed from the two gas outlet ends 33613;
[0074] Finally, the reversing motor 3362 continues to work, at this time the sealing block 3366 blocks one of the gas outlet ends 33613, and the distance between the sealing ball 33611 and the other gas outlet end 33613 is the farthest. At this time, the fluid can be sprayed from the other gas outlet end 33613 through the chamber, thereby completing the blowing work of the three-prong bearing;
[0075] When the manipulator 2 places the cylindrical shell on the assembly table 1, the clamping motor 41 starts to work, and the moving clamping motor 41 can drive the limiting rod 43 to start working. The moving limiting rod 43 can drive the first abutting wheel 44 to move. At the same time, during the movement of the limiting rod 43, it can also drive the first sleeve 48 to move, thereby changing the inclination angle between the pulling plate 47 and the clamping seat 42. Since the second sleeve 49 is located in the pulling plate 47, the pulling plate 47 can drive the limiting arm 46 to move during the movement of the pulling plate 47, so that the movable wheel 45 and the first abutting wheel 44 are in contact with the cylindrical shell, completing the limiting work of the cylindrical shell, and then completing the oiling work through the oiling unit, so that the cylindrical shell is filled with lubricating oil. The structure of the oiling unit can be the same as that of the blowing part 336, thereby completing the oiling work of the cylindrical shell;
[0076] When performing a performance test of the constant velocity drive shaft, the constant velocity drive shaft can be placed in the torque detection device 6, and then the first power source 9 starts working. The moving first power source 9 can drive the drive gear 83 to rotate. At this time, the drive gear 83 is engaged with the movable gear 810, thereby causing the output shaft 82 to rotate, thereby driving the constant velocity drive shaft to rotate. During this process, the torque sensor 7 is used to perform detection work. After completing the detection work of the power source, the locking rod 89 is adjusted so that the locking rod 89 is in one of the limit holes, and then the position of the swing arm 86 is adjusted so that the locking rod 89 on the swing arm 86 is located in the other limit hole. During the adjustment of the swing arm 86, the swing arm 86 can drive the movable seat 85 to move through the provided support block 87, so that the movable seat 85 can move on the detection seat 81, thereby changing the position of the movable gear 810, so that the movable gear 810 is engaged with the drive gear 83 on the second power source 10, and then the torque detection work of the constant velocity drive shaft is completed by the rotation of the second power source 10.
